Multiply
‘Multiply’ is the solo exhibition that celebrates Raw Color as the winner of Limburg Design Award 2023. The exhibition shows 15 years of work by Raw Color, uniting end results and process.
In ‘Multiply’, Raw Color presents a combination of graphic design, product design and photography in a spatial colour experience. ‘Multiply’ stands for overlapping and mixing colours and represents the many forms of colour research that are central to the studio’s work. For the first time in the Netherlands, the exhibition shows an overview of final products as well as Raw Color’s working process.The materialisation of colour plays the leading role and can be seen as the core of Raw Color’s multidisciplinary studio. Within the field of design, the studio has a unique approach. Daniera ter Haar and Christoph Brach work together with their team on projects, either initiated by themselves or commissioned by well-known brands. Several of the studio’s projects are included in the collections of the Cooper Hewitt Museum, Stedelijk Museum and TextielMuseum.
‘Intuition plays an important role in our work. We combine it with logical systems that enable us to translate intuition into concrete results. We work closely with local producers and brands. These journeys can be found in the archive shelves, that show samples, inspiration and the process of our projects. We present a considerate selection of projects that radiate the bold spectrum of Raw Color.’
Limburg Design Award
The guiding principle in judging the awards was ‘the spirit of Cuypers’: the search for innovations, an eye for aesthetics, functionality, and the transcending of disciplines. By awarding the prizes, the municipality of Roermond aims to increase awareness of Pierre Cuypers, his work and legacy, and to profile the Cuypershuis as a platform for contemporary design.
The jury of the Limburg Design Award 2023 consisted of:
Maarten Engelman – senior architect Engelman Architecten, chair
Jeroen Junte – design and architecture publicist
Chequita Nahar – designer, manager autonomous visual arts and design programmes, Maastricht Institute of Arts, Zuyd
Timo de Rijk – director Design Museum Den Bosch
